Apcupsd Description

Apcupsd can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines.Apcupsd works with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office.During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates.Apcupsd is free software release under under the GPL version 2 license. What's New in This Release: · MAJOR CHANGES · Build system rewrite: All Makefiles have been rewritten from scratch. Improvements include reliable dependencies, support for parallel make, elimination of Makefile.in -> Makefile conversion, consistent use of DESTDIR during 'make install', and pretty-printed output during builds. · NEW BUILD SYSTEM NOTES - GNU make is required. The configure script checks for this and tells you how to invokve it (on some platforms it is 'gmake' instead of 'make'). - Output during build is pretty-printed by default. To see more details, use 'make VERBOSE=1' for output similar to the old build system. For even more verbosity, use 'make VERBOSE=2'. - Parallel builds work well. If you have a multiprocessor (or multicore) system, try 'make -j< number-of-processors >' for the fastest possible build. · Built-in version of libgd for multimon cgi has been removed. The version previously included in apcupsd was old and likely had security issues. It is safer to use libgd from the target system. Therefore, your system must provide libgd if you choose to build cgi now. Generally this is easy to achieve by installing a vendor-supplied package. · Removal of NLS support: The NLS code was terribly bit-rotted with many non-internationalized messages and almost every translated message was incorrect. At this point the maintenance burden of keeping NLS support building was deemed too high considering the small benefit it was able to provide. · Powerflute has been disabled. It has been broken for the last several releases because it relied on an untrushworthy source of UPS status (rawupsstats) which was itself removed. Powerflute could be converted to use the standard NIS status mechanism and its source code remains in the tree in case someone has the desire to contribute this code. · NEW FEATURES · Add POLLTIME directive to control UPS polling interval. This directive specifies the number of seconds to delay between polling the UPS for status. Previously, NETTIME allowed this to be adjusted for network connections only (snmp, pcnet, nis-net). POLLTIME configures the delay for all connection types. NETTIME is accepted as a synonym for compatibility with old config files. · BUG FIXES · gapcmon: Corrected the use of NOMPOWER and the calc of current usage amount. Thanks to James Scott Jr. · Add a heuristic to fix up incorrect NOMINV or NOMOUTV. Some UPSes (RS 500) report decivolts instead of volts. Reported by Kirill S. Bychkov. · Various build fixes on Solaris and OpenSolaris. Thanks to James Dean for loaning me an ssh login on his OpenSolaris box. · Fix hal policy file syntax. For some reason this blatantly incorrect file actually works on RHEL5 (hal-0.5.8). Thanks to Andrew Telford for correcting it. · Fix gapcmon build on OpenBSD. · Fix BSD USB driver build. · Fix default NIS port on Debian. Debian is now using the standard NIS port, 3551.
